This is the day that the LORD has made, we of the leadership team of Grace Message Church Ministries will be glad and rejoice in it. In case you readers missed what was said; it’s our responsibility to be glad and to rejoice; it’s not someone else responsibility to make us glad, nor is it someone else’s responsibility to make us who are righteous to walk in the authority which is given us, which gives us true joy. When saints do not understand these facts, what comes is the fulfilling of this question in a delivered person’s life is: from whence come series of warfare and controversy among a person? Come they not hence, even of your lusts that war in your members? This scripture is speaking concerning the battles which take place in a person; for there are laws, one law which drives the flesh, and there’s another law which drives a saint’s spirit. This struggle takes place within a person daily; so strong is this battle within a single person; that this type of battle drains that person at times, and begins to play tricks in a person’s mind: has anyone ever experienced what we are speaking of, or are we the only one???? The inside battles in which we are pointing out, that takes place within a saint, they derive from: desire of preferment which are advancements which can become very Satanic; then there’s envy-which are feelings of uneasiness, which sometimes come through the sight of superior excellence, which is the reputation of others; and there is covetousness, which are inordinate desires of obtaining. These things in which are named, they derive from the heart; this is what’s meant when is said: for every tree is known by his own fruit, for of the abundance of the heart his mouth speaks. The Bible even goes as far as to say; saints lust, and have not. This lust is speaking concerning worldly processions; and by not attaining them quickly, the Bible teaches; and the solicitude, the concerns and anxiety of this world, and the delusion of wealth, and the longing for other things enter in “which totally hinders the hearing of the Word of God” and those things choke the Word, and the Word of God becometh unfruitful in their lives, regardless of how powerful the Word of God is those things which are mentioned makes the Word of God to no avail only in that person’s life. In not facing these facts; there arrives fighting and wars among yourselves, and yet that person still does not attain; and the reason why, they ask not the right person, and the right person is God. But, what do you do when what you truly desire from God and God says no? Because God says no in many different ways; for example: the bible says things like this, when YHWH saw that Leah was hated, He opened Leah’s womb; and left Rachel, in whom Jacob truly desired to get pregnant, God left her barren. So much is this true; that Jacob got angry with whom he loved, and whom he loved was Rachel: and he said unto her; Am I in God’s stead, who hath withheld from thee the fruit of thy womb? Then when some people pray and ask God concerning healing their bodies, as Paul the apostle of Yhowshua did in verses 8-10 of the 12th chapter of the Second book of Corinthians: and God said no. Yet we hear that it’s not God’s will for anyone to be sick; we hear, what kind of father would want their child to be sick? But what immature saints and leaders fail to realize; all sicknesses are not unto death, as is stated in the 4th verse of the 11th chapter of the book of John. Though it seemed as Lazarus died; but it was a sleep; and it was allowed that God might get some glory out of it. Everyone wants to be used by God, but not the way He wants to used them!!!! When God does not answer a saint’s prayer, it’s for two reasons; first reason, sometimes it’s to keep that person in the family of God. For if we got everything our hearts desired, we would be arrogant spoiled brats, which would cause us to look down upon others. We know people who are like that now, and they say they have the love of God. Paul came to realize, that God did not grant him his request of healing, because it was done to keep him humble. The tool which was used to keep the man of God humble is called a messenger of Satan. Paul said, there was given me a thorn in my flesh: which means that it was not there all the time, the thorn was given at the increase of his spiritual revelation in God. I bet you, Paul did not see that coming. Isn’t it something to receive because you have increased in the knowledge of God; but to immature people they may be saying, that can’t be. The second reason why God does not answer saints prayers, when they pray, because they ask amiss. Amiss is them asking not according to the divine promises of God, nor before submitting to Him; and with the wrong purpose in mind. And the wrong purpose of their prayers are, that they may waste, or spend and devour it upon their own pleasures; as was the case with Simon the sorcerer in the 8th chapter of the book of Acts. Simon the sorcerer asking for the gift of, upon whom he lay his hand, as can be read in verses 18-19 of that same 8th chapter of the book of Acts: that person may receive the Holy Ghost, this request of Simon’s it was made after he believed the Word of God, and after he was baptized; as states the 13th verse of the 8th chapter of the book of Acts. So, Simon’s request which is a prayer, it was asked amiss, that he could consume it upon his own lust. In other words, Simon wanted to look important to the world, which makes him an adulterer, because his friendship with the world was more important to him. And the friendship of the world is the enemy of God. All of these struggles come from within a person’s spirit, and please do not overlook, that Judas Iscariot was stealing right in the presence of Yhowshua, and concealed the true contents of his heart; for the 16th verse of the 26th chapter of the book of Matthew reveals: from that time Judas Iscariot while being in Yhowshua’ face still doing ministry; but seeking opportunity to betray Him, while the lust of his heart was thinking upon the thirty pieces of silver. This is what’s meant in the 5th verse of the 4th chapter of the book of James which reads: the spirit that dwelleth in us greatly long after and brings about ill will? That 5th verse of the 4th chapter of the book of James actually reads: the spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? People of God, there are some things in our hearts we seriously need to take the time out and clear them out. Here’s the part in which misleads us; some of the things we are speaking of, we like. It’s difficult to separate from what you love, Selah. Here is where we will be pausing, because this has just been an introduction and we will continue in our next epistle from the 4th chapter of the book of James, and that’s with the 5th verse. We will speak with you at a later date, that’s if it’s the Lord’s will, until then, sayonara!!!!
